With the launch of the Galaxy S20 series right around the corner, we expected Xiaomi to reveal when the Mi 10 (and possibly, the Mi 10 Pro) will be unveiled this week. The rumor mill recently suggested that the Mi 10 launch will happen on the same day as Samsung’s event. However, Xiaomi has sent out press invites for a product launch on 23rd February, that too in Barcelona, and confirmed that the Mi 10 is launching at MWC 2020.
The Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will obviously feature a premium glass design, but it’s the front panel that will grab an upgrade this time around. Xiaomi experimented with dual-curved displays on the Mi Note 10 and it now seems confident to bring this to its flagship Mi 10 series. But, the display will boast a punch-hole design instead of the waterdrop notch.
As revealed by Xiaomi at the Snapdragon Summit back in December last year, the Mi 10 series will be one of the first Snapdragon 865-powered smartphones. This will be coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, manufactured by Micron, and up to 512GB of internal storage. The LPDDR5 RAM is said to be 20 percent more power-efficient and 50 percent faster data access speeds.
